ON ABC'S "EXTREME MAKEOVER," THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28

"Episode 305" - Since its premiere as a one-hour special in December 2002, "Extreme Makeover" has become a pop culture phenomenon-to the extent that the very title is now common vernacular. "Extreme Makeover" has unveiled some of the most jaw-dropping transformations of people, dramatically and forever changing their lives and looks through plastic surgery. Don't miss an all-new episode on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Marque and Elisa were given a life changing experience, as they were able to change their looks in an effort to transform their lives and destinies and to make their dreams come true. This was all accomplished through the skills of an "Extreme Team," including plastic surgeons, eye surgeons and cosmetic dentists, along with a talented team of hair and makeup artists, stylists and personal trainers. In addition, participants recuperate at the "Makeover Mansion," the new luxurious mansion tucked away in the Hollywood Hills, CA, complete with stunning views, a swimming pool, fully equipped home gym and plasma televisions.

Marque is a 48-year-old singer/musician stuck in the 1970s from North Hollywood, CA. Hard times and struggle have aged his rock star looks. Life as a single father since the mother of his son passed away has also been tough on his dating situation. The Extreme Team helps Marque go back to the future of the 21st century with a new look that will go up in lights. Marque's procedures include a face lift, upper and lower eyelid lift, neck lift, liposuction of abdomen and love handles, hair transplant, Botox into frown lines, eye lines, mouth lines and forehead, FotoFacial(r) RF w/ Levulan, at home FotoFacial(r) skin care products, Fotolift(tm), LASIK eye surgery, 9 root canals, 13 da Vinci porcelain veneers, 12 da Vinci porcelain crowns, 1 da Vinci porcelain bridge, cosmetic gum reshaping and Zoom whitening.

If beauty has an alma mater, it's at Beverly Hills high school, the inspiration for the TV show "Beverly Hills 90210." But the zip code brings back bad memories for Elisa, a successful 38-year-old sales and marketing director from Van Nuys, CA, whose appearance caused her to be the brunt of ridicule and alienation. But she decides to take on her 20th high school reunion to erase her bad memories and turns to the Extreme Team to take her to the top of the class. See what her high school classmates have to say about Elisa now! Elisa's procedures included endoscopic brow lift, upper blepharoplasty (upper eyelid lift), release crow's feet, rhinoplasty, liposuction on hips, thighs, knees and under chin, breast lift, tummy tuck, Thermage to arms and legs, V-beam to cheeks, schlerotherapy for leg veins, laser hair removal to face, legs and bikini area, LASIK eye surgery, a da Vinci porcelain bridge, 2 dental imlants and Zoom whitening.

Elisa's "Extreme Team" included:

* Dr. Garth Fisher, a prominent board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed more than 7,000 surgeries

Also, stylist Sam Saboura doubles the fun when he gives not one but two Mini-Extreme Makeovers! Teresa, a 38-year-old homemaker with 3 children, and Christina, a 38 year old case initiation clerk and mother of 6 children, both from Garden Grove, CA, are identical twins from Samoa who undergo Sam's fast and furious wardrobe/hair/makeup overhaul. And Sam dispenses his tricks and tips in the fields of fashion, personal style and grooming with "news you can use" to give yourself a whole new look without any plastic surgery.
